We've integrated a GPS mount as reliable when mounted on your kayak as it is on your car windshield.
The
Kayalu KLR-5500-T Locking Suction GPS / Fishfinder Mount, with components
manufactured by RAM Mounting Systems and further enhanced by the
addition of our Kayalu Toughbar® and additional accessories, provides
a unique opportunity for you to secure your mobile GPS unit or fishfinder using
a locking vacuum cup design similar to the mechanical
suction
cups used by professional glass installers.
The KLR-5500-T
includes an entire assembled
unit except for the custom cradle
for your particular GPS or fishfinder model. You
choose a
custom engineered cradle from the RAM Mounting Systems, Inc. catalog of popular GPS
and
fishfinder models, including those from Garmin, Tom Tom,
Lowrance, Delorme, Magellan, SPOT, Eagle, Raymarine, Humminbird and many
other manufacturers.
The KLR-5500-T is constructed of
premium-grade materials, all suitable for
use in freshwater
and saltwater environments.
Because the Toughbar®
extension increases leverage at the base of this mount, the KLR-5500-T includes
an anodized aluminum RAM diamond ball above the suction unit (as shown in image
with specifications, below) — not a high strength composite ball suitable for
shorter mounts as we ordinarily include in our Locking Suction mounts.

nuts that are compatible with the diamond-shaped base that is included with the
KLR-5500-T (see specifications below to view the diamond base).
Need a custom base to fit your
fishfinder? To select and purchase a fishfinder base from RAM Mounts,
click
here (opens in

not additional mount components or hardware. Find your device in the menu, then
click on "Components" to identify the base. The RAM base for your
fishfinder has a 1" ball which is compatible with the KLR-5500-T.

At the base of the KLR-5500-T is
one of two RAM Mounts coupler arms — this lower arm is spring loaded for
convenient adjustment. At the upper end of the Toughbar® extension rod is a
second RAM Mounts coupler. Both of these couplers have large handles which can
be
loosened for positioning your GPS display in a wide variety
of positions, and locked into position with a single hand. These
couplers are manufactured of high-strength composite and are tough as nails,
easily capable of stabilizing the unit for access to function keys.
More about the power-locking suction...
The RAM Mounts
locking suction cup at the base
of this unit (image at above
left) provides an exceptionally strong grip by comparison with
competitive suction-based mounts. This mount, when moistened and cleanly affixed
to any non-porous
surface (glass, steel, fiberglass, enamel,
plastic, etc.), can secure GPS or fishfinder units weighing up to 2 lbs. (.9
kg).
The mount can be affixed to a glass
window, fiberglass kayak, car
fender or a boat windshield by
power-locking its vacuum grip to the surface
through the
action of a mechanical lever arm. And when you want to remove the
mount, you simply twist the lock counter-clockwise and pull up a small rubber
tab.
To enhance the functionality of our KLR-5500-T
industrial quality
GPS / fishfinder mount, we include a
marine-grade, nylon-coated bungee tether and a plated
steel
breech clip, which allow you to secure the mount in the event that the
mount is bumped or the suction becomes disengaged.
